Jay Rock - Thank The Lord lyrics

[Verse 1] Waking up another California morning, sun shining through my window Another day of being broke, but I survived another 24, so; "Thank the Lord", that's what momma say Momma stressing over them bills, gotta be payed The food getting low, eating noodles and cereal But the first of the month is like two days away, so; "Thank the Lord", them checks coming Some shots rained out and everybody is running The enemy came through looking to hurt something, but who? Never knew the hollow tips would touch nothing, I; "Thank the Lord", nobody was hit No cops patrolling the hood for gangs injunction It's all good, we can hang out So bring a grill and a radio out, it's a celebration, no doubt we; "Thank the Lord", for our freedom [Hook] It's so hard, so hard to get by Momma always say the strong will survive So I'm gon' get praised for everything I got "Thank the Lord" Because I know one day, one day that I Will make it, better wait, they say in due time So I'm gon' keep my head touching the sky "Thank the Lord" [Verse 2] Project house party, no altercations, what a surprise Homies was shootin' dice outside But everybody was sober, therefore meaning nobody was robbed, so; "Thank the Lord", nothing popped off Lil' mama quick to take her top off She too young to be having s**, only being in ninth grade She listened to Pac seen the mistakes that Brenda made, so; "Thank the Lord", she was inspired I hate having to see that lil' boy watching us smoke up something to that loud, now that's nothing I enjoy But the deep game slowed up meaning nobody's employed, so; "Thank the Lord", the fools had nothing to hit Nobody hoppin' that fence, nobody thinking 'bout tryna commit We just tryna remember the Watts Riots Knowing I survived that, I can't help but just; "Thank the Lord", I'm still here [Hook] [Verse 3] I got my priorities right, no more hanging out late nights ducking the force I know you see my name in the limelight, so of course I; "Thank the Lord", I got a career Momma was disappointed throughout the years, but now she's proud I love to see my success make her smile I love to see them Jay Rock shirts i-in the crowd, I; "Thank the Lord", for my fans I sit back for a minute and put it in GOD's hands He said he'll have it mapped out tomorrow I said "that's a little too quick", but that's when I met dude, dawg I; "Thank the Lord", for him believing in me Went from that project boy on the block to winning awards Multi-million record sales, worldwide tours I never regret being poor, the more I think about it I; "Thank the Lord", for the growth of Jay Rock [Hook x2]
